Stoneale · 10-03-2009, 09:30 PM

I am going to be launching from baby's beach tomorrow around 7am.. and plan on fishing the kelp patties out on the point. If anyone else will be out.. I will be on a Blue Malibu X-Factor.

nice to meet you out there today, thanks for yelling back at that yacht club douche bag that drove 15 ft across my bow and snaged my line...
1 bite, 0 fish, horrible conditions.

Stoneale...Can't believe you actually went out...Well, yes I can. I know the feeling of wanting to get out to try the new yak that nothing will stop you..even a crappy cold front with wind and snotty conditions. Hope you got to break her in right!

Yeah.. same to you.. and not a problem yelling at those yuppies. I cannot believe how close they got to you, and then snagged your line. That has happened to me so many times.. so maybe thats why I yelled at them.

@forefrazier - I cant believe I went out either. I was on the water at 7:30am, and even at that time it was windy. I went over to the bait barge, and the Open sign was not on and I could see the guy sleeping. I tried to wake him up, but had no luck. So I ended up paddling out to the red buoy, and fished that for a while. I caught a couple small Bonito.. and a few mackerel. From there I paddled over to the green buoy. I made it about half way.. and ended up turning back because the swells were about 3-5 feet. It was insane.. The X-Factor handled them well though... I ended up going back into the harbor and fishing around there the rest of the day.

So yeah.. it was a cold, windy dark wet day on the water.

I was really looking forward to fishing the kelp patties too. Well, maybe it will be better next week.

Below are a few pics I took:
